record of committee meeting #1. after prayer, proverbs 28:13 was read: "he who is covering over his transgressions will not succeed, but he who is confessing and leaving them will be shown mercy.

" the need to confess to jehovah was emphasized.

as jehovah's representatives, the elders said we therefore needed to confess to them.

from princess bride: learn to live with disappointment

from the lion in winter: in a world where carpenters get resurrected, everything is possible
also: if you're broken, it is because you are brittle
and: there is no sense in asking if the air if good if there is nothing else to breathe

"Fancy Dress" and large social gatherings are banned in our Halls! Why?

by Witness 007 in

yes we hosted the ultimate "fancy dress" party.

} but what's the big deal!

An email from my dad

by TheSilence in

i received this email from my dad today.

i have not clicked on the link or responded, nor do i intend to.

i accept that i am not going to change his mind, and i know he is not going to change mine, so i choose not to participate in debate with him in an effort to retain what little relationship i have with him.

what a JW would never consider is that
science has long known that "blood" was
just a step in the process .... no one thinks
it is the end of discovery of that aspect of
healthcare.... it is a cumbersome vehicle
from collection to storage to compatability
yada yada.... a standardized product is
OF COURSE a goal of research and so is
advancement of technique, using newly
developed apparatus to make surgery
more elegant, efficient and less invasive'
therefore less bluddy!

so whenever there is an advancement
in bloodless alternatives, the JWs think
it is because they are so special...

and they are, but not the way they think

Please though if you can help me here by mentioning or sending it to any friends you have that don't usually frequent message boards or discuss their JW upbringing that would be fantastic. The Watchtower always says that there's a vocal minority that feels the religion is a cult or not the truth or whatever, so I would like to see a good range of ex-Jehovah's Witnesses responding here so an accurate picture is given of ex-Jehovah's Witnesses.

perhaps posting it on a FB xJW page or making your own page and
then "sharing" it on xJW sites could get you a little more coverage

ps. i sent you an email ;-)
